THE lola NURSERY.

After two years of careful cultiva-
ton am now prepared to show the
public as fine and complete a nursery
as Is in this part of the state. have
given special attention to apple trees
and now have a large number of the
choice varieties recommended by the
Horticultural Society as best adapted
to our locality. These trees are very
thrifty and vigorous, and I will sell
them at about half the price charged
by the agents of foreign nurseries. All
fruit grower know the advantage of
taking trees direct from the nursery,
rather than through agents. You get
them fresh and thrifty and you know
just what you are getting. All l ask
is that you examine my stock. Muir

MISS cHAMBERLA1N's LETTER TO THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICERS OF Al
LEN COUNTY, KANSAS.

Gentlemen
The valuation of School District No.
for the year 1857 is s.. The An
nual meeting this year will be held
on Thursday, June 80, at 2. p. m. A
Treasurer is to be elected in each Dis
trict for the full term, and where va
cancies have occurred since the last
annual meeting, director should be
elected for two years and a clerk for
one year.
The annual meeting is empowered
by law to vote tax not exceeding two
per cent. on the taxable property of
the district for the payment Of.teachers
wages and incidental expenses. 1t is
hoped that the meeting will vote tax
amply sufficient to cover the expenses
of the coming year, 50 that the school
house and grounds may be put in
good repair, and furnished with neces-
sary fuel and apparatus.
1t is also strongly urged upon
every school district to vote a library
tax. Questions are daily arising in
every school upon which the pupils
desire broader informa ton than the
text books give, and this desire for
knowledge should be gratified by put
ting supply of good books in every
school.
If the school grounds are moi. fenced,
or if fenced, are not Ornamented with
trees 1 would respectfully urge the
meeting to instruct the board to have
that work done. Children spend q
large share of their lives at school and
the school houses and grounds should
be made so attractive that they will
love them and have strong protect
ing care for them instead of evincing
the reckless destruction of school prop
erty which has become SO proverbial.
That the schools of the county may
be reduced to q more uniform system
and that in moving from one district
to another children ruay enter classes
without loss of time or material inter-
ference in their studies sincerely rec.
Ommend the adoption of some good
course of study, and especially recom-
mend Speer's Course of Study rs it is

DISTRICT COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Court commenced on Monday accord
ing to law and work was begun with
Judge Stillwell's accustomed prompt
ness. On Tuesday morning, however,
the Judge complained of not feeling
we'll and about IL o'clock he became
so weak that he tainted in his chair
and had to be taken to his hotel. He
soon recovered somewhat but by the
advice of physicians supplemented by
the earnest request of all the attorneys
at the bar, he concluded to adjourn
court until August 8. The Judge has
worked constantly without a days in
Permission since March, has had a great
many difficult and perplexing cases
and his prOstration is no doubt due to
over-application to the duties Of his Of

Twenty of the railroaders, emphatically de-

arrested at Browns hotel. An examination
of their rooms, however, disclosed large
quantity of valuable merchandise, that had
been taken from the railroad. There are
still about 200 unserved warrants out, and
altogether over 400 informations have been
lodged
Chief of Police Brokaw informed areporter
that employees Of the Pennsylvania railroad,

Brokaw says that the credit Of securing the
evidence Of stealing, fixing the identity of
the thieves and locating the property is prin-
cipally due to the D. II. Gillinson American
Detective agency, Of Pittsburg.
The warrants for searching the homes,
rooms and eleven boarding houses of the
men under arrest were served to-day. As q
result load upon wagon load of merchandise
has been unloaded at Detective Gilkerson's
offices on Diamond street Among the arti-
cles confscated were cigars by the thousand,
silks and satins by the web, silverware, boots
and shoes, dress goods, jewelry, revolvers,
and in fact all conceivable kinds Of mer-
chandise. On nearly every man arrested
was found more or less stolen property, to-
gether with numerous pawn tickets, and o
peculiarly constructed pin with which seals
on car doors had been loosened and again
closed in such manner as defied detection.
John Hampton, attorney for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company, and all the lines
west of this city, said to-day; "On the Pan
Handle road are eighty freight crews. In
vestigation developed the fact that seventy
Ave crews were banded together in system
attic manner for the purpose Of robbing the
cars in their charge. most deplorable
feature of the case was that they were steal
ing whisky and concealing it in their ca
booses, and many of them were more or less
drunk all the time"
Probably the most important arrest Of the
day was made at 2:3O James Young, of
Allegheny City, called at the Jail Office and
inquired for one of the prisoners. He was
promptly arrested and locked up. Mr..
Young told detective that he was not a
railroader, and had called on business. He
is the possessor of valuable information,
however, and had already given up sufficient
pointers to positively identify thirteen crews
